deird1Either my nose is secretly a Tardis, or human noses in general have an amazing storage capacity.
A few weeks ago, I spent over a month with a continuous cold, whereby I could eject so much snot in one blow that I'd instantly use up a tissue - and then use up another tissue THIRTY SECONDS LATER.
And tonight? Coughing reflex (overactive thanks to whooping cough*) kicked in while in the middle of eating soup, thus giving me a mouthful (and noseful) of vomited food. And half an hour later, I was still blowing my nose and ejecting lentils.
WHERE ARE THEY ALL BEING STORED? HOW THE HELL DOES MY NOSE CONTAIN THAT MUCH STUFF? AND IS IT TRULY BIGGER ON THE INSIDE, AND IF SO, WHEN WILL I DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO TRAVEL THROUGH SPACE AND TIME?
* All you people who refuse to vaccinate your children? Thanks so much for taking away my herd immunity. No, really. I'm just so thrilled.
And really - I did warn for grossness. So don't complain; it's your own fault for clicking...
